Every time there is a discussion of EU regulating an American firm for anything, a comment like this appears. I am really puzzled, what is the cause for this blatant nationalism - as an American you will never see any of this money, it's probably headed for a tax heaven. The hypocracy is blatant too, USA regulates every business on it's soil without hesitation, often with asine laws like the Jones act. When France introduced 3% tax on tech giants, US government lost their shit. They can set 100% tax if they please, if you don't like it, don't trade in France. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48947922 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48947922 I think US State Department is quite aware that EU is one of the few institutions that is roughly their peer in economy and trade wat capability. They don't want to kick a hornets nest.
